Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has tricks for making relational operators for symbols. I've made most of my patches so that they can be controlled with the computer keyboard, and ran into a snag on the last one that I was trying to build.
Normally I just use [keyup] and [route] with the system numbers for my controls.
I want to build a tap controller that uses [keyname] simply because it just has the 0, 1 left outlet. I am thinking something like this:

[keyname]
|
[sig~]
|
[tabwrite~]

, but only want to let one key control it.

Thanks in advance.

It seems I was a little hasty in my post. After thinking about it for a minute, I realized what to do.
If anyone is interested:

[keyname] [key]
| |
| |
[sig~] [== x] (system number of desired key)
| /
| /
| /
| /
| /
| /
[*~]

Something like this might work a little better:

[keyname]
| |
| [sel x] <-- symbol name of key
| | /
| [1( [0(
| / /
| / /
| / /
[spigot ]
|
[sig~]

The reason for doing it this way is to ensure the correct execution order. The rightmost outlet of [keyname] will always output before the leftmost one. On the other hand, since [keyname] and [key] are separate objects, you can't be sure one will trigger before the other. I think it depends on which order they are created, but doing the above is safer.

Cool.
I didn't know [sel] could take symbols.
Thanks for your help.
